Phrag kovachii gonna bloom?

[gonewild]

Well at least it has a sheath starting. Not one of my biggest plants but apparently the most mature of the bunch!

3 years and 2 months out of flask.

The plant has a 19" LS on a single growth, however this is probably not the first growth the plant has made.

As the kovachii plants mature they seem to produce 2 growths from the base and some have 3 growths.

Now Friday I am off to Peru for a while so we will see what it looks like next month when I get back.

Congratulations Lance! 'Hope all goes well with this flower sheath. What are you using as potting medium? Water?...rain, tap...? Fertilizer? Thanks!

 

[gonewild]

Potting media is mix of Leca, charcoal, CHC, pumice, crushed limestone and a few other things I had laying around.

Tons of water.
Misted throughout the day with RO water foggers.
Fertilized every watering which is every morning
MSU Fertilizer (13tbs/30 gallons RO water) + 3tbs of epson salts.
Every once in a while I switch to a tank of Calcium Nitrate mix (15tbs)

I may have to take one to work and back home every night to give it such care!

Great looking plants and nice moss too!

 

[John M]

Thanks again Lance. I agree with Rick; that moss is beautiful!

 

[gonewild]

Thanks I like the moss too! When the moss looks good that's when you know the kovachii is getting enough water.

That is what timers and automatic valves are for!

 

[NYEric]

Forget that. My timer is the alarm on my watch.

 

[gonewild]

I don't own a watch?

I don't own a watch?

I get lots of e-mail spam advertising watches. Would you like me to forward some to you?oke::rollhappy:
